What are the effects on the voltmeter if voltages measured exceed the range?
If the voltage measured exceeds the voltmeter range then the voltmeter needle remains in it's maximum position until it's voltage values are considerably reduced.
What range should the voltmeter be set prior to taking a voltage measurement?
If the voltage is completely unknown, a voltmeter should be set to the maximum range first, then stepped down to an accurate level.
What range should you set the voltmeter prior to taking a voltage measurement?
Make a guess of what the voltage will be and set the range accordingly. If needed, change the range after measuring the voltage, to get a better reading.
What happens inside a voltmeter when you switch it from a lower to a higher voltage range?
When you switch a voltmeter from a lower to a higher voltage range, an additional resistor is added in series with the meter, increasing the voltage necessary to create the same voltage drop across or current flow through the actual meter movement.
What could be the tendencies for the voltmeter if the voltages to be measured exceed the range?
You'd potentially damage the meter. Whether you do or not is immaterial; if the meter cannot measure the range of voltages you are expecting, it will not give accurate readings over that voltage range, thus you should not use it. Buy a different meter that will measure over that voltage range, or use a voltage divider circuit to get a lower voltage at a certain ratio of what is actually in the circuit (this may be difficult to do, or very simple depending on the circuit tested - the key is you do not want to load the circuit with the voltage divider network).
What is the function of capacitor voltage transformer at the switch yard?
function of capacitive voltage transformer is measure high transmission voltage with low range voltmeter and oprate the relay circuit to oprate CBs.
What do you mean by range of voltmeter?
It is the maximum voltage to which it has been calibrated, but this may be set out in separate ranges selected by a switch on the front panel.
An ammeter and voltage range are measure the current and voltage electric lamp if mistake meter interchange what will happen?
1. Voltmeter has high impedance and hence will restrict the current severely.a) Electric Bulb will not glowb) The Ammeter will just measure the current that Voltmeter allows and since this current is much smaller than actual current nothing will happen to ammeter.c) The Voltmeter will measure the Voltage that is being applied.d) This will allow you to measure the resistance of the Voltmeter.VR=V/I
Why there is an extension range of voltmeter when a series resistance not equal to voltmeter is used?
why is extention
What measuring instrument is used to measure potential difference?
To Measure Voltage or potential difference you can use volt meter, there are diferent methode to measure DC voltage and AC Voltage.use a AVO meter and you can choose Voltage in each voltage range on the selector.a Volt meter instrument you can find it by manual methode and digital .Dont forget to read manual book before you will measure the voltage.Comment'Potential difference' is exactly the same thing as 'voltage'; they are synonymous.
A multirange voltmeter which scale is numbered from 0 through to 250 the pointer falls mid range on the scale interpret the reading on the meter?
With the pointer mid range on the scale, the reading of the multi-range voltmeter would be 125 volts.With the pointer mid range on the scale, the reading of the multi-range voltmeter is 125 volts.
How would you extend the range of a voltmeter and ammeter?
if we would like to expand the range of voltmeter we should change the voltmeter resistance even to be appropriate . we should use a variable resistance to control of its value . I would extend the range of a voltmeter by adding resistance in series with it. I would extend the range of an ammeter by connecting resistance in paerallel with it.
